Urban Planner | Lifelong Learner
Sharing the stories of things I’m passionate about and using my platform to amplify important stories of community members I interview.
Feeling through Conflict is a guided reflective exercise I designed as a final project for my masters of planning course "Design and Planning for Community Power". I mobilized my skills in facilitation and storytelling to create an interactive worksheet for planners & designers engaged in anti-oppressive work.
Community engagement is an integral ingredient in planning decision-making. For my final project in my "Communication in the Face of Power" course as a Planning master student, I created a community engagement strategy and poster for a hypothetical project in Vancouver's Chinatown.
Here is a timeline of my involvement with ePortfolio making and the UBC Arts ePortfolio program starting from my 3rd year GIS class to the present! This post will be updated as I continue to collaborate with the UBC Arts ePortfolio program.
I have been a volunteer at the Vancouver Aquarium for 2 years as a Marine Educator and Gallery Educator. Find out how I engage visitors with facts and conservation takeaways about bamboo shark egg cases!
Food isn't just food, it's nourishment, culture, community, and a livelihood! This is the idea my teammates and I had in mind when we first started this project to document and narrate the stories of Canra Sri Lankan, our favourite food court stall in the International Village Plaza mall.
As the first assignment for my HIST 483 - Asian Migrations to the Americas class I was given the "simple" task of "representing a class partner in video, text, or sound". I chose to make a stop-motion draw-my-life style video! This assignment mostly gave us the chance to experiment with video-making and interviewing subjects for later assignments.
For the final project of my GEOB 372- Introduction to Cartography course, we were tasked to make a thematic map on any issue we were interested in. As a volunteer for educational programs at the Vancouver Aquarium, I decided to use my cartography skills to make an educational proportional symbol map that would summarize the current state of Oregon Spotted Frog populations and recovery programs in BC from 1998-2010.
